DECLINE IN PRICES. 



Under the new tariff we must reai-iange some of 

 our prices. There has been quite a decline in win- 

 dow glass and tinware. Small sizes and strips of 

 glass that we have listed at $2.50 per box we are 

 able lo s( 11 at $2.00. and in some sizes even less. Our 

 raised co\er tin pails will be reduced about 12 per 

 cent; one-gallon cans, $1.00 per 10). Sugar-makers' 

 supplies will be lower than ever. We expect to 

 give prices on these in our next Lssue. While u"- 

 cessity requires advance in piice of some artii les, 

 we are glad when we are able to announce a decline 

 in pi ice.

 price. The>e sash are halved together at the cor-
